Avatar n tn A friend just informed me that there was a study recently done concluding that Paxil may be related to heart failure and respiratory disease. Have you heard about this? It concerns me as I've been taking Paxil for twelve years to treat panic disorder. Thanks for whatever information you may offer.
Avatar n tn He also had surgery at childrens hospital boston Cree Cree ahd different issues and was always in the hospital due to respiaory issues. I decided after his heart surgery at 3 months to stay at home with him. when he started preschool. I interviewed many preschools. I told them his lenthgy medical history and asked if they would be comfortable takiening him on. 16 of them came right out and said yes. and that was the end of discussion.
Avatar f tn One of my cats has grown increasingly skiddish and hides almost 90% of the time since I had my son (who is now 2). Now that I am expecting again (with twins) my husband is pressuring me to find him a new home. We also have found that he is starting to act out by peeing in my son's room when we leave the door open.
Avatar f tn My grandson was born June 8, 2007 & died June 11, 2007. He was 3 days.old. The Coroner stated that he died of ASD & Congenital Heart Disease. Nothing was ever seen in the US while my daughter was pregnant. I've always wondered if this really was the cause of death. He didn't want to eat the 3 days he was alive. He was born on a Friday and on Monday we took him to the Pediatrician who said he had a yeast infection in his moueatth.that is the reason he wldnt eat.

Avatar f tn s social security card, and to get it I need her shot records. In order to participate in sports, they need vaccines, in order to travel outside the country. I know this is a scary thing, especially with all the mixed stories you hear, and its so hard to know what the tight thing to do is. Being a mom is so hard, and we worry so much (rightfully so most of the time).
Avatar f tn Fever over 100.4 needs reported to ypur doctor asap in newborns. It's more serious in newborns than toddlers. Make sure he isn't overdressed and that's what's causing a rise in temp. Poor guy. Hope he's better soon.
Avatar f tn I work in an office with multiple women who went through pregnancy and birthed healthy normie babies
Avatar f tn So, I have a bassinet in my room and and I plan on having my baby sleep in there in our room for the first while. My question is in the nighttime when the babys diaper needs changing did most mommies have these necessities to change them in your room or would you walk and change them on the change table in their room during the night.....??

Avatar f tn I had my first child after Christmas but he was due before Christmas and she even recommended that we not take him to the family Christmas gathering and to sit in the back of church, going in and out quickly.

5948831 tn?1377198400 Hi, your symptoms of dizziness could be due to postural hypotension, a condition in which the peripheral arteries dilate, leading to pooling of blood in the peripheries. This in effect causes decreased circulation of blood resulting in dizziness/lightheadedness. This is more pronounced if the person stands up from a lying down position. This is detected by recording the blood pressure recordings in the sitting, standing and lying down positions.
Avatar f tn Normal pulmonary pressure is 15-30. So in theory, you could be classed as hypertensive in the pulmonary system, but not by much at all. Leaks that are trivial and mild are of no real concern. From the report stating that your right atrium and ventricle have reduced in size, I am thinking that they are just back to normal due to past higher hypertension. Yes they can return to a normal size again. Hearts are good at adapting in either direction, so long as the source of the problem is removed.
Avatar n tn I had just visited to a cordiologist for my heart problems..He assured me that i dont have any problem in my heart..then what about those eco test i had done six months back..how can i believe n to whom i should belive..i still feel the pain in chest n breathing problem is reduced but it happens sumtime when i get tired while doing minor household works..
2086874 tn?1332686494 I ws watching TV one evening and without any warning or symptoms I lost the vision in my right eye. It was plaque in the artery and is not reversible. A few months later though I had some flashes of light and lost the peripheral vision in that eye. (In the beginning it was just the vision in the top portion of my eye. I know it sounds weird, but different areas of the retina see different angles.) Did your vision return?
Avatar f tn Take care, Ken arrhythmias, especially when heart disease is present. In some patients, VEBs are triggered by the same mechanism that gives rise to ventricular tachycardia which can be cured with catheter ablation. In addition, there are recent reports on the use of catheter Ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs) are commonly seen in daily clinical practice. They are largely asymptomatic but can cause upsetting symptoms in some patients. .
Avatar m tn Well, tomorrow the day and we will find out if I have some severely narrowed or obstructed heart arteries/vessels which did not appear in a Heart Cath back in June 2009. The worst narrowing found back then was an 80% occlusion or narrowing in a diagonal. Stenting was deferred.
Avatar f tn t ever know we have heart disease. When his small vessel blocks, which can take many years, or months (nobody can estimate it) then 2 things could happen. He could develop collaterals, but unlikely if they aren't forming already with chest pain. The other outcome will be that heart muscle be suffocated and die in that area and will be unable to give pain.
Avatar n tn Did he attend any cardiac rehab classes? Those can be quite helpful in helping a heart patient (whether heart attack or surgery) regain the confidence they need to live life fully again. Some people have a lingering fear that if they do too much activity, even sexual, that they may damage their heart. Or they feel some depression that they're not "whole" any more and they somehow lose value as a person.
Avatar f tn t present you with any symptoms. The valve between the two right chambers in your heart has a slight leak. However, some of the newer breed of Cardiologists are starting to investigate Mild leaks. The reason is, if an ongoing infection for example is the cause, it can quite quickly turn to moderate, and then severe. Valves are best dealt with at the earliest possible stage.
